[OpenIndiana-discuss] For a basic dev environment
When I was running opensolaris 101, up to 133 before switching to oi, there used to be a basic set of pkgs one needed installed to have a basic developmental environment. I mean just enough to do basic compile from source of gnus pkgs and the like. Is that still true with oi?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Virtual Desktop
Hi, Does OpenIndiana offer something analogous to the Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure solution? I'm not familiar with Oracle VDI, so perhaps this is a nonsensical question.

I never have got onto using it, and always went with some incantation of find. Seems like several times I tried it and the db was not up to date and so first had to update that... even with some cron run update scheme, etc etc... so never really bothered with it. But for what I want right now... it would be just the ticket, I think. It does not appear to be available as a pkg on oi 147 with publisher set like this: PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI openindiana.org (pref) origin online http://pkg.openindiana.org/dev/ opensolaris.orgorigin online http://pkg.openindiana.org/legacy/ Did you mean to compile it from source? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

In oi_147 you could fix this by doing a 'su -', giving the password you used during the installation, and resetting the password when prompted (because root's password was expired). I'm not sure if that's the case in 148 or 148a. Might be worth a shot, though.

I finally tried: sudo bash -c "export http_proxy=http://proxy.name:port; /usr/bin/packagemanager" That did work. Anyway, as a new user, I found a couple of issues: 1) I can't even launch these applications of a fresh install, since the GUI is prompting me for a root password, but no root password is created during the install process. This appears to be true for many admin applets. (Plus, I would have assumed it would use "gksudo" or some equivalent, but it does not.) 2) There should be a functional, and obvious, "cancel" button in both those apps while they block on network activity. 3) Since these are among the first applications run on a fresh system, a shortcut to the Network settings applet in the menus and "waiting on network" state would be nice.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] bug reports
I've just switched to using OI for my internet access, so I'll be testing it a bit ;-) Three items: The "Report a bug"option in the OpenIndiana pulldown in Firefox doesn't take you to a report form. In fact I couldn't find one anywhere. The default installed system is starting 2 volume managers, rmvolmgr and gvfs-hal-volume-monitor though I couldn't find any documentation. With both volume managers running, once a device is mounted, it can't be unmounted. I turned off rmvolmgr, but I'd like to turn off gvfs-hal-volume-monitor also. rmvolmger is managed by sfm, but gvfs-hal-volume-monitor doesn't appear to be. Something starts it, but I can find nothing under /etc or /lib/svc that references it. The use of privilege escalation from the user account using sudo(1m) or similar seems to me a bad idea. It seems too easy to exploit. The browsers have so many vulnerabilities, that I won't run a browser as root. It seems to me that having a separate root account is much preferable to sudo for machines which have internet access. But then I just disconnected my LAN and installed a dedicated system for internet access. Have Fun!

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Problems with limiting access to Xvnc on OpenIndiana
Hi.
I'm trying to set up Xvnc server on OpenIndiana oi_148 machine to access it
remotely, and I want to limit access to ssh, to enforce secured connections.
I managed to enable the service, and set properties for it as follows:
inetadm -m svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd:default exec="/usr/X11/bin/Xvnc
-inetd -query localhost passwordFile=${HOME}/.vnc/passwd -geometry
1680x1050x24 -localhost"
And restarted the service:
svcadm restart xvnc-inetd
-localhost option is supposed to limit incoming connection to localhost only
(thus limiting it to ssh for example). But even with that, Xvnc accept
unencrypted (non ssh) connections from the remote machine. What am I setting
wrong?
Thanks,
Hillel.
